Average Accommodations But Overpriced -I won't be back

3.0
on July 31, 2018

Rooms: If you enjoy an European/Victorian aesthetic, then this may be your "cup of tea". The duvet, drapes and decorative pillows are dated. The carpet in the room does need to be deep cleaned or replaced at a minimum. The "Ac" is a portable standing unit and functions well enough, but is not pleasing to view or to listen to at night. The "fire place" inserts are a nice touch for atmosphere but a bit out of place. It did provide some heat and ambiance. The "tub"(Jacuzzi) is very dated with the white caulking molding cracking. In general, the room appearance is not what I go for and I should have paid closer attention to the photos provided by the establishment on line. The photos are an accurate representation of the accommodations.
Service:The kitchen help was excellent to prepare a basic hot breakfast. Desk help was a bit odd and scattered but pleasant with very good attempts to be helpful and attentive.
Value: In my opinion, 50% over price. I have stayed at 4-5 star for $500-1000 a night so when I pay $300-400/ night here, it is too much. I would rate this a 3 star property.
Cleanliness- Acceptable. Our room was clean. The bedding was fresh and odor free. The carpet was vacuumed but has old stains so replacing carpeting throughout the facility would be refreshing. The common area was clean, as was the kitchen area. Our bath area was clean but also dated and needs updating and remodeling.
Onsite Dining- Adequate and no complaints for a basic "hot" breakfast. They offer eggs, omelets, bacon, french toast, sausage links as hot items (no pancakes, waffles).
Odd reservation/refund/cancellation policy-Make sure that this is your kind of place to stay because the owner makes it very clear that No refund will be given if you cancel your reservation. She will offer you a voucher with no expiration to return so you can "use" your money and not lose your payment. However, I wouldn't be interested in a return visit.

Probably won’t be back

Stayed one night. Staff was friendly. Room was clean.

Needs a total remodel

We had great expectations and unfortunately none were met. The property looks nice from the pictures ... needs a lot of work. Their were bugs in our room, no tissues, no face soap, mold in the shower, no make up mirror, burnt out light bulbs. The attention to detail was lacking. Breakfast was confusing, we didn't know that we would have to find the cook to place our food order, the process was not discussed and we waited 30 minutes for our eggs, and to top it off the order was not correct.

Cynthia was a Godsend when my family needed a place to stay while my family member was hospitalized. She worked with me to find the best accommodations for my mother and my brother. She reorganized reservations on-the-spot to help us. The Inn was tranquil and relaxing. We would definitely visit again.

Our Stay at the Columbia Inn at Peralynna Manor

We heard about this special Bed an Breakfast from a co-worker 5 years ago and they were very pleased with their stay and had the Best breakfast and classy scenery along with a live pianist. Every employee was very friendly and professional. We really enjoyed our stay. Can't wait to get back there during the summer.

A Delightful Gem

This was my second visit to the Columbia Inn at Peralynna and once again it did not disappoint. The owner's grandson greeted me on my arrival and was extremely personable. My room was lovely and breakfast was a delight. I highly recommend this delightful gem of a B&B.

Innkeeper ResponseThank you for taking the time to write this beautiful review. We do our best to greet each and every guest and make their stay as wonderful as yours. We look forward to your return!

Good stay, except for disruptive housekeeping

3.4
on October 17, 2016

Overall, our stay at the Columbia Inn was pretty nice. The building is beautiful, the room was nice, and service at the beginning was attentive. Food in the morning was also good. The negative part of the experience was the fact that housekeeping walked into our room FOUR times while we were in bed or using the restroom - 3 times before standard checkout at 11, and once more before our delayed checkout (which had been approved by management) at noon. The interruptions made the stay pretty stressful, and management needs to address it. Otherwise, the stay was enjoyable.

Incredible Service and Great Staff

The staff is absolutely incredible. It's a beautiful and very comfortable place to stay. I am delighted that I found it as I had been staying at the chain hotels in Columbia when I come up on business. This is considerably nicer. One of the great things is that each room is different - all are very comfortable - and the staff is incredible (bears repeating!)

Innkeeper ResponseWe could not agree with you more. We are an excellent alternative to the chain hotels. We hope that you return soon to experience the same excellent service. Thank you for sharing your kind words.
